The equation 44 - x + 2x = 50 can be used to determine the number of cats/kittens adopted.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Number of cats/kittens at the event = 44

Number of cats/kittens at the end of event = 50

Let,

x be the number of cats/kittens adopted

Therefore;

Number of cats/kittens returned = 2x

Number of cats/kittens at the event - adopted + returned = Number at the end of event

44 - x + 2x = 50

The equation 44 - x + 2x = 50 can be used to determine the number of cats/kittens adopted.

A pharmacist wishes to mix a solution that is 6% Minoxidil. She has on hand 100 ml of a 2% solution and wishes to add some 8% so
son4ous [18]

Answer:

200 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

It's proportions basically.

frst off, 2% of 100 ml is 2 ml, so the 100 ml solution has 2 ml of Minoxidil.

Eventually we want 6/100 to be the porportion.  so the total is going to be 100 (from the initial 100 ml) plus however much is needed x.  And we want the amount of Minoxidil to be 2 + 8 percent of x.  so this gets us the equation

6/100 = (2 + .08x)/(100+x)  Then we solve

(100 + x) 6/100 = 2 + .08x

(100 + x) 6 = 200 + 8x

600 + 6x = 200 + 8x

400 = 2x

x = 200

so they should add 200 ml

You can check too.  there is 100 + 200 ml of solution total and 2 + 16 ml of Minoxidil so that's 18/300 = 6/100

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 1313, 1616, 1919, ……, 7070, 7373?
Ede4ka [16]
The formula in getting the arithmetic sequence:
an = a1<span> + (n – 1)d.
</span>
We can substitute the values in order for us to know how many terms the sequence has.

an = 7373
a1 = 1313
d = 303

an = a1<span> + (n – 1)d
</span>7373 = 1313 + (n-1) 303
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
-303n = 1313 - 303 - 7373
303n = -1313 + 303 + 7373
303n = 6363
n = 21

So, there are 21 terms in the sequence given.

Can you answer question 29, please?
timurjin [86]
From the table, for every 6 containers of water, you need 8 containers of red dye. So, for every one container of red dye you need 0.75 containers of water (6/8). Then, multiply that by 100 (since you wanted to know water necessary for 100 containers of red dye). For 100 containers of red dye, you would need 75 containers of water.
